GPS with Benefits--Guest Post by Vanessa Morgan


Thanks for joining me today, Vanessa. It's all yours. 

Thank you for having me on your blog today. I'm truly honored to be here with all of you!


How many people do you know that make jokes about their GPS device or even talk to it?

Nearly everyone, right?

Also, GPS devices already know where you are and how fast you are driving. Who says that, in the near future, they won't be able to know you look at and what you say.

These thoughts form the basis of my new release, GPS WITH BENEFITS in which a womanizer purchases a new GPS device, not knowing that it has a mind of 'her' own.

The inspiration for GPS WITH BENEFITS came to me when I was in the car with a friend. We made jokes about the GPS device and imagined how it would be if the GPS was actually alive. I immediately knew that these ideas could be turned into a hilarious story. 

I won't reveal more, but GPS WITH BENEFITS has some twists and turns that you won't see coming and that will have you laughing out loud.


Your turn... What's the weirdest or funniest thing your GPS has ever done?

By the way, if you leave a comment on this post, you'll automatically be entered to win an Amazon Gift Card of $25.

A Good Man by Vanessa Morgan--Book Buzzin'

A GOOD MAN by Vanessa Morgan. This one looks great!


Loved Dexter and American Psycho? Then you'll love A Good Man.

Louis Caron is a good man - vegetarian, he feeds the homeless, takes care of animals and is even concerned with the ecological future of the planet. But his altruism has a sinister edge - he's a vampire - and local detective Taglioni is becoming increasingly suspicious. Louis' attempt to escape the police takes him on a journey into his own private hell where he is not only forced to confront his worst fears, but also to destroy the lives of those he cares about most.



Be sure to stop by again on June 29th for a chance to win a copy of A GOOD MAN.


Here's an interview with Louis Caron from A GOOD MAN.



What do you think it takes to become 'a good man'?

Let me quote Jonathan Safran Foer to answer your question: "Cruelty depends on an understanding of cruelty, and the ability to choose against it. Or to choose to ignore it." It's impossible to be a good man 100% of the time. Imagine that you are in a relationship that is not working out for you anymore and you are very unhappy because of it. If you leave the woman who is still madly in love with you, the woman's friends and family will probably tell you what a bastard you are, even if you are a good person in all other areas of your life. But is there a better option? In my opinion, a good man is someone who chooses to be good whenever he can, but it doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing your own health and happiness. 

You were 55 years old when you were turned. How has that affected your immortality? 

I don't know where the theory comes from that vampires are sexy and strong. It's so far from the truth. Do you know how many vampires exist on this planet that are desirable and healthy? Only one. In reality, when you get turned into a vampire, you stay exactly the way you were before... for eternity. If you were ugly, you'll stay ugly. If you have a broken hip, you'll have a broken hip forever. In my case, it means that I'll have wrinkles and arthritis forever. I know that some other vampires have problems far worse than mine, but it's still annoying. 

What is the most interesting thing that has ever happened to you?

I've seen every corner of the world, lived through many different wars, been in jail... But the only thing that really mattered was the love for the people I have met. The infectious smile of a woman that loved me as much as I loved her, belonging to a family, saving the life of a baby, making someone happy.

What is the most blatant lie you have ever told?

I have a very hard time telling lies. Of course I lie - once in a while. Who doesn't? I can't tell people that I'm a vampire, can I? But I try to be honest in any other area of my life.

How do you feel about being interviewed for fun?

I've been a vampire since 1750, but this is a first for me. I like being interviewed, because it enables me to tell the truth about who I really am; kind of like a confession. This interview is anonymous after all, isn't it?

Light or dark chocolate?

As dark as possible, please. I don't eat sugar.

Favorite color?

White. I've read somewhere that a preference for white symbolizes the desire for simplicity and impossible ideals. For an older person, it also indicates an attempt to recapture lost youth.

Dogs or cats?

I love all kinds of animals, but cats are definitely my favorite. I have a cat myself too. His name is Avalon. He originally belonged to one of my victims. As it was her last wish that someone would take care of that cat, that's what I did.

Tea or coffee? 

Tea, preferably herbal tea because it improves my complexion and makes my wrinkles less visible. I'm a bit self-conscious when it comes to my appearance. 

Favorite fruit?

Bananas.
